Chapter 25: Xiaobai
Ye Zhiheng sat on the stone bench with his eyes wandering, and he didn't know where to look.
Qiubai took out the dumplings and the small dish of vinegar from the tray, "Childe, eat dumplings." ”
Ye Zhiheng picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a white and chubby dumpling and put it whole into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Qiu Bai leaned forward and asked expectantly, "How is it?" How does it taste? ”
Ye Zhiheng nodded sincerely, "It's better than last time." ”
Qiu Bai smiled, and then explained proudly: "Of course, the dumplings last time I added a little salt, and this time I added seasonings, pea sauce and eggs, my mother ...... My mother knows how to make dumplings, and that's how the stuffing works. ”
Ye Zhiheng saw that Qiubai was speaking with great interest, so he smiled very cooperatively.
When Qiubai saw it, his heart was even more excited.
"Meow~" A black cat suddenly came out of a corner and jumped onto Ye Zhiheng's lap in one leap.
Ye Zhiheng grabbed a dumpling and threw it on the ground, and the cat immediately jumped down and ate it with relish.
Qiubai stared at the dumpling in the cat's mouth and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
Ye Zhiheng's face unconsciously hooked, "It's called Xiaobai." ”
“…… Hmm, white. "It's dark.
Ye Zhiheng ate a bowl of dumplings very face-savingly, and finally praised it, "It can be comparable to the dumplings downstairs in the world." ”
Qiubai smiled instantly, it was a very happy thing that the things he made could be affirmed by others, and when he went downstairs that day, he felt very tall when he heard the name.
"Remove the chopsticks." Ye Zhiheng began to feel sleepy after eating, waved to Qiubai, stood up and went back to the house.
"Oh." Qiu Bai hurriedly leaned over and took the dishes and chopsticks back to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Li Zhi was eating dumplings with a red face, but Qiu Ling was nowhere to be seen.
She brought two bowls of dumplings back to the yard. Li Zhi saw Qiubai looking around, so he explained.
"Oh." It should have been given to Doudou and Xiaobao.
"Eat it, there's still a bowl." Li Zhi ate and drank to his heart's content, got up from a small stool and wiped his mouth, and walked out of the kitchen.
Qiubai picked up the dumplings that were hot from the back stove, and there was still a little spark in the stove, so the dumplings were still a little hot.
I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, and I can't stop when I enter a mouth, and the next bowl of dumplings will bottom out.
She wiped her mouth with her sleeve, scooped half a basin of water to clean the dishes, chopsticks, pots, and stoves, and then went back to the yard.
The three sisters and brothers are all in Qiu Xiaobao's house, Qiu Doudou squatted on the side of the stool and ate dumplings by himself, while Qiu Ling sat on the edge of the bed and fed Qiu Xiaobao with a spoon.
"Eldest sister, have you eaten?" Qiu Ling turned her head and asked Qiu Bai who walked in.
Qiubai nodded, "Eat." ”
After the two little ones finished eating the dumplings, Qiu Ling took the bowls of the two to the kitchen to wash.
Qiu Doudou and Qiu Xiaobao sat on the bed, took out their respective jelly beans and counted them, and saw who had more.
It's a pity that Qiu Xiaobao can count to ten at most, and the six-year-old Qiu Doudou can only count to fifty.
Qiu Bai looked at the innocent side faces of the two of them, and his heart was sour, at this age, shouldn't he be studying in the academy.
If she could be as proficient in business officialdom as other crossing girls, her sister and brother would not be so sad.
It's a pity that she doesn't know anything, except for farming and cooking.
In the evening, Qiu Bai was very diligent and rushed into the kitchen before Li Zhi and started cooking.
She first lit the fire in the stove, then added a little water to the pot, and in the gap between the boiling waters, she washed five bowls of rice and washed all the dishes.
At this time, the water was just boiling, she poured the washed rice into the pot, and turned it while cooking, and soon the rice became soft and only a little hard in the middle, she hurriedly took out an iron basin and put a bamboo basket with fine holes on it, and scooped all the rice and rice soup in the pot.
As early as when the fire was lit, she added a small half pot of water to the iron pot in the back stove, and when the rice was drained, she took out the steamer and poured the half-cooked rice into it, and then put the steamer on the back stove and began to steam it.
The pea sauce was very fragrant, so she decided to make a sauce-flavored pork ribs, this dish was her favorite in her previous life, but unfortunately since she came to this ancient time, she has never eaten it again, one is because the pork ribs are too expensive, and the other is because the pea sauce in the village has maggots, she really doesn't have the courage to eat it.
After stir-frying the pork ribs with sauce for a while, she added water and began to cook, the ribs were not easy to rot, at least two quarters of an hour, she covered the pot, turned to the cutting board, cut the cleaned potatoes into hob pieces, then shredded the lettuce, and then cut a sharp pepper.
When all the ingredients were ready, she moved the boiling ribs to the side of the stove and slowly cooked them, and she was about to start simmering the potatoes in the pot.
She was busy in the kitchen, and it took her half an hour to get the food ready.
There are four dishes in total, pork ribs in sauce, stewed potatoes, stir-fried lettuce with sharp peppers and one stir-fried lettuce leaf.
She picked up the tray on the board, put the ribs and potatoes and brought them to the gazebo, the tray was so small that it could only hold two bowls at a time.
Ye Zhiheng and Li Zhi didn't know what they were discussing, their voices were not loud, their faces were a little serious, and Qiu Bai closed his mouth as soon as he approached the two.
"It's ready." Li Zhi said with a smile.
"Well, there are two more dishes, I'll bring them over." Qiubai ran two more times before he got all the food.
Xiaobai ran out as soon as he smelled the aroma of vegetables.
Ye Zhiheng threw pork ribs for it to eat very generously, and every time he threw a piece of pork ribs, Qiubai's heart hurt a point.
Ye Zhiheng ate slowly, and his mood seemed to improve.
"Childe, do you want to eat another bowl?" Li Zhi took Ye Zhiheng's empty bowl with a look of concern.
Ye Zhiheng shook his head, "Withdraw it." ”
Li Zhi nodded, and hurriedly bent down to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Qiu Bai was very diligent and helped take the dishes and chopsticks back to the kitchen.
She had left a little food in the kitchen before, plus the dishes that Ye Zhiheng hadn't finished, which was completely enough for the four of them and Li Zhi to eat.
The next day, Qiu Bai got up from the bed.
Their family of four lives in someone's house, and there is always something bad, and she only gets up earlier to do more things, so that she feels a little more comfortable.
She found the broom and was about to sweep the yard, but just after sweeping two brooms, Ye Zhiheng came over with a sword.
Qiubai was a little embarrassed for some reason, and felt a sense of panic when he was caught as a thief, "I'm ...... I'm going to sweep the yard. Without waiting for Ye Zhiheng to speak, she hurriedly explained.
Ye Zhiheng ignored her words with a cold face, walked straight to the middle of the courtyard, and pulled out his sword is a stab.
Qiubai covered his chest in fear and jumped back a step, this person, moody, obviously yesterday he was a good old man who was good at talking, but today he has become this stinky picture of eating!
Li Zhi, who came over from the side, hurriedly pulled Qiu Bai, who was still there, to the side, "Xiaoqiu, the young master is going to have breakfast after practicing the sword, you go and help me fight." ”
"Oh......" Qiubai inexplicably felt a little aggrieved.
The two went into the kitchen one after the other.
"There seem to be two potatoes yesterday, you shred the potatoes, and I'll cook porridge." Li Zhi commanded.
After the two of them were busy, Ye Zhiheng's morning exercise was also completed.
Li Zhi walked quickly to Ye Zhiheng's side and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, where is dinner?"
